311. How to Reward Yourself For Your Hard Work

The end of the year is a time for reflection and relaxation. For product bosses, though, it's the busiest time of the year.

We can’t forget to take account of the good work being done and consistently reward ourselves for putting forth the effort to make it all happen. In this episode, we talk about the best ways to reward yourself and when, and share some examples of ways we’ve done so in the past to help put things in perspective.
